Freegek.org can teach one a valuable lesson on how to be a good citizen and help those in need, but also, by volunteering, learn more about technology without attending extra workshops. This site can serve as an example and the base for a social studies project. By being divided into research groups and given them a task to explore freegeek.org, students could have a better understanding of social, economical issues, public policy and civic practice. The only weakness is the donation part. If one must donate, even such a low amount, that defeats the definition of donation  contribution on a voluntary basis. (See: Required fees and Suggested donation)Technical Remarks:It is very easy to navigate through the site.
